VIDAS是生物梅里埃公司生產的一種全自動免疫熒光酶標儀，在微生物檢測中主要是利用酶聯免疫的原理對微生物或毒素等進行篩選檢測。

mini-VIDAS是一臺全自動熒光免疫分析儀，它集合計算機、鍵盤及打印機于一身。此免疫儀的反應市控制整個酶聯反應的操作直至打印結果。內置計算機管理數據及報告。Mini-VIDAS由兩個獨立的倉各含6個試驗通道，可同時進行不同的VIDAS試驗。

功能強

儀器本身靈活性高，可同時進行VIDAS的不同試驗(80個標本/每工作日)，也可單個測試運作。經48小時增菌過程后，多數試驗可于50分鐘內結束。快速篩選樣本。既可對食品中的毒素進行檢測,也可對主要病原菌進行檢測。

簡單/快速

全過程自動完成，將即可用試劑插入儀器中，然后由機器分擔所有工作，直至打印報告。即可用試劑節省操作時間，也可配套本公司的成品增菌培養基一并使用。

可靠結果

客觀量度及分析減低人手誤差。整個過程標準化、自動化。內設自檢系統，無交叉污染。

獨特創新

１．全自動系統　２．參數不斷更新　３．工業微檢室的高科技代表

國際認可的標準

獲得的國際認可保證了提供的微生物學檢測的結果是公認的

原理

應用酶聯免疫法，最后測藍色熒光（ELFA）抗原（細菌、蛋白）的檢測是應用一種夾心的技術，包被針上有抗體包被，所測得的熒光與標本中抗原的含量成正比。

測試范圍

用以食品及環境樣本中的致病菌包括：沙門氏菌、李斯特菌、單核細胞增生李斯特菌、葡萄球菌腸毒素、大腸埃希菌O157、彎曲菌、免疫濃縮沙門氏菌、免疫濃縮大腸埃希菌O157。

即可用試劑

VIDAS一次性即可用試劑分為
2部分：
　　 SPR，固相接受器，其內側由抗體包被，此包被針作為固相吸管功能
　　 條形碼標記試劑條，含所有所需試劑，取出即可用。試條類別由試條上顏色標貼及3字母的標志識別。

VIDAS and mini VIDAS : automated immunoanalysers

VIDAS is a multi-parameter automated immunoanalyser. It comprises an analytical module, a computer and a printer. The analytical module automatically performs all stages of the analysis, including printing out the full results. It contains five sections, each accepting 6 tests, and can handle 60 tests per hour. Thanks to its speed of reaction and sectioned architecture, VIDAS? is the ideal system for handling series of analyses and urgent tests. The computer module is used to manage and print out the results. It can handle up to four analytical modules simultaneously, giving the system a capacity of 240 tests per hour.

mini VIDAS is a compact version of the VIDAS system, with a built-in computer, keyboard and printer. It has 2 independent sections each accepting 6 tests, and can process up to 12 samples simultaneously.

The VIDAS technology is reliable in all situations, as confirmed by our operation mini VIDAS? on Mont Blanc.

With a range up to 70 assays VIDAS tests have applications in clinical diagnostics and industrial microbiological testing.

VIDAS test

VIDAS tests use ELFA technology (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay), associating enzyme marking and fluorescence measurement. It is used on the VIDAS and mini VIDAS automated analyzers. Based on an inter-sample anti-contamination principle, VIDAS? tests are presented in individual, ready-to-use form. They contain a SPR and a strip :

the SPR (Solid Phase Receptacle) is the solid phase of the reaction. It is a disposable item, and acts as a sampling needle. This concept eliminates potential inter-sample contamination.

the strip contains all the reagents, ready for use.

At each stage in the immunoanalysis, the SPR repeatedly takes up the reagent and transfers it into the various wells of the strip, through to the final stage of the analysis. The last well is the reading well, where the final intensity of the reaction is measured by fluorescence.

VIDAS menu for industrial testing

VIDAS offers 8 assays for the rapid detection of pathogens in food products and environmental samples :

VIDAS Listeria, for detection of Listeria (validated by the AFNOR *)

VIDAS Listeria monocytogenes, for specific detection of Listeria monocytogenes (validated by the AFNOR *)

VIDAS Salmonella, for detection of Salmonella (validated by the AFNOR *)

VIDAS ICS, for salmonella immunoconcentration

VIDAS Staph enterotoxin, for detection of Staphylococcus A, B, C1, C2, C3, D and E enterotoxins

VIDAS Campylobacter, for detection of Campylobacter

VIDAS ECO, immunodetection of the potential presence of E.coli O157 using an optimized protocol in less than 24 hours.

VIDAS ICE, immunocapture to simplify the confirmation stage of the presence of E.coli O157 which is particulary delicate using the conventional method and to considerably reduce waiting time by avoiding time-consuming culture stage
